Hi everyone! Alexa is entering a nail art contest and needs all the help she can get to win the fabulous prize (not because that her mani isn't great, but because it doesn't have a judging system, friends just vote). So if you'd click here and vote for her, it would be awesome! She explains everything step by step (2 steps in total)

Thanks in advance!

NOTD: blue poker

2011-10-16T10:39:00.000-07:00

I got the plate from Alexa, who was nice enough to lend it to me (I'm not buying new plates because I end up using them once)

I did 2 coats of the neon Flormar and one coat of the Splendid Blue from Avon.

As you can see in the swatch, the blue over the Flormar looks bluer.

What do you think ?

Oh and have you all seen then Christmas China Glaze collection? Any faves? Are you getting any ? Which ones?

NOTD: trying to keep summer going

2011-10-04T11:36:00.000-07:00

I love these colors, I love dots, enough said!

If you have a problem with my cuticles, or my uneven nails, I'll let you know now, I know how to groom them, but that takes time that I don't have.

Hope everybody is having an awesome week!

Oh and btw, does anybody know when the Christmas China Glaze collection is going to be available for purchase? I a few colors caught my eye, one in particular! I love Christmas polishes!

Sorry I've been MIA

2011-09-16T22:53:00.000-07:00

But life just happened, and nothing too exciting, either! Just the longest exam session of my life and then sleeping till 12 and then a small trip! And here I am!

I'm here with a small last-chance-summer-mani, because today the weather's changing, at least where I live!

And that's my new watch! Isn't it cute? I love it.

Hope everybody starts school/work easily!

NOTD: Golden roses

2011-04-08T22:35:00.000-07:00

Sorry for being so late with posting this. I've had a lot on my mind lately.

So this is 2 coats of Color Club's Velvet Rope, and the roses are stamped with 2030!

Hope everybody has a nice weekend!

NOTD: Hello Kitty

2011-03-27T05:53:00.000-07:00

Sorry for being MIA lately, guys! My nails are a mess and school is really coming down on me hard, this semester is turning out to be harder then I thought!

Anyway, the day before I did this mani I saw this girl at school that had a cute Hello Kitty shirt, and instead of the traditional, eye-hurting bright pink, it was purple, and I really liked that!

I used 1 coat of China Glaze's Spontanous, stamped the Hello Kitty from the famous fauxnad with the special white polish and used a toothpick to add a bit of pink and yellow! Mid you, I'm very bad at free handing so this is the best I could do!

Also, before I move on to the photos, I'd like to say that my friend did an amazing Black Swan look, and here it is.

Hope everyone is enjoying the rest of the weekend!

NOTD: Black Knight

2011-03-17T08:48:00.000-07:00

So this is the second and final installment of my tiny holo mini series. Like I said, I'm not a big fan of holo polishes, but these really captured my eyes!

This one is Revvvolution from Color Club, a lovely dark holo, that of course, my camera didn't capture!

Hope you liked this tiny series as much as I did!

Kisses and hugs!

NOTD: White Knight

2011-03-15T11:53:00.000-07:00

Hey there!

I wanted to show you the first part of a two part series: Holos!

I have to confess that I find pink and blue holos very unattractive, but this silver one has its' own charm, and even though it doesn't show in the photos very well, it's blinding in the sunlight!

This is Flormar's number 392 (and Turkish and Romanian ladies know this is a cheap, yet awesome brand. I think it's about 2 dollars or a bit less, around that amount in dollars.)

I'll post the second part sometime this week!

Any guesses for who the Dark Knight is ?

NOTD: Golden flowers

2011-03-12T01:24:00.000-08:00

Hi guys!

I wanted to try Starboard from China Glaze Anchors Away collection!

It only took one coat! I like this polish!

I used 2030 with the m73 plate to do the flowers!

But I have to mention that most swatches out there make it look like a perfect grassy green! It has a yellow tinge to it, if you ask me, and I have to say I was a bit disappointed when I saw it at first.

Hope you like it!

Have a great weekend!

NOTD: Purple & blue

2011-03-09T07:37:00.000-08:00

Sorry for the lack of updates, but my cuticles are so messed up I'm ashamed to post! It's completely my fault, and I'm trying to fix it with lots of hand cream, but oh well.

I used For Audrey and Grape Pop from China Glaze and I tried to do a ruffian with the image plate, it didn't work out so well on all the nails, but I got a lot of compliments for it all the same!

I hope to solve the cuticle mess as soon as possible!

Hope everybody is having a great day!

Kisses and hugs!

I just got my order from Head2toebeauty.com. I usually order from 8ty8beauty because I like their customer service, but all their crackles were sold out by the time I decided I wanted some!

And the polishes that are doubles are for my friend!

These are my first Color Clubs and I already did a pedicure with the red one that's called Velvet Rope! It's very shiny and good in one coat!

Golden

2011-02-27T04:53:00.000-08:00

Hi guys!

Sorry for the lack of updates, I just have one last exam that I'm really going all out for!

This is an older mani I did with a polish I got from Mary. It's from China Glaze and it's called Midnight Kiss (from the Christmas collection)

I stamped the design with LA Girl in Graphite.

My last exam is on Friday and I'll be updating a lot faster!

Also, stay tuned because I just got a package with some polishes from the new China Glaze collections (including the Crackle one) and I'm going to do some manis with those!

Have a wonderful weekend!

See you soon!

2011-02-19T04:43:00.000-08:00

Hi guys! Just wanted to do a quick update for you guys!

Just a simple mani using See you soon from Sinful colors.

I think it's an awesome color that doesn't grt nearly enough love!

So hope everyone is doing well, have a great weekend!

Birthday mani and birthday hauls!

2011-02-15T06:06:00.000-08:00

Birthday mani and birthday hauls!

I turn 21 today! Yay!

I don’t have any big plans for today, my party is postponed until March because of exams (I’m doing great by the way, I just wish I’d be more sure of myself, especially since most of them are oral!)

For my birthday mani I used 2 coats of Venetian Glass from NYX followed by one thick coat of Milani’s Gems (I hear it’s a dupe of a polish that’s called Birthday or something like that. It looks very festive, though)

Some things I ordered as a present to myself, because I’m pretty picky with the colors I like!

From Farmasi (a Turkish brand you can find in Romania)

I got 6 shadows, an illuminator some pencils, a bunch of lip pencils, foundation and powder (I didn't show these because powder is just powder, so is foundation and the lip pencils are for a friend so they don’t count). I must say that the shadows are very pigmented (the swatches are with no base, just one swipe with a clean finger)

From Coastal Scents I got 4 brushes (that I have dupes off, but I’m lazy to wash my brushes every day so I get more of the same type) and the concealer quad that I must say that it’s the best concealer I’ve had by far.

I got a new mascara from Revlon

And from Cherry Culture I got a few things, such as the Jumbo pencils that I love (and the people that don’t like them just don’t know how to use them. You use a primer first, such as Stay, don’t stray – Benefit, UDPP or TFSI- the one I use, or any other primer you use. These are NOT primers, they’re colored pencils, you need a primer. Then you put them on in a thin coat. Thin doesn’t mean all over the lid, thin means blending it out heavily), some NYX lippies and lipsticks, a green primer and some other stuff that you can just check out in the photos.

The colors are Black Bean, Cottage Cheese and Iced Mocha and of course, two random Jordana pencils that are remarkably good!

That's all for today! I know my mani isn't all that original, but I like it!

Hope everybody has a nice day!

Stone cold

2011-02-10T21:33:00.000-08:00

Wanted to use my Recycle from China Glaze because it's the most perfect gray ever and it doesn't get nearly enough love!

So I used that and Graphite from LA colors to stamp the circles!

Shimmer and sparkle

2011-02-06T01:29:00.000-08:00

Hi everyone! Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

I used a no name emerald green and one coat of that beautiful Claire's shimmer!

It looked a lot more green in real life, but the camera didn't pick it up, unfortunately.

Miami heat

2011-02-01T09:38:00.000-08:00

Don't forget to check out my friends' blog.

I wanted to show you guys one of the other polishes I got from Sinful Colors a while back.

This is a royal blue and looks a bit lighter in photos.

It's a lovely color that held up well on my nails.

I used two coats and stamped the silver pattern with the 112 Flormar (with m60)

Hope everybody is having a great week!

Rich in heart

2011-01-29T01:05:00.000-08:00

Hi everybody! Just wanted to post a quick update! I'm studying for my exams so it'll be a slow month.

I used Rich in Heart from Sinful colors then stamped the pattern from the m78 plate with 2030 from China Glaze.

2011-01-25T11:33:00.000-08:00

Hi guys!

I'm super busy with exams so my updating isn't as frequent as I'd like, but it'll get better at some point!

I did one coat of China Glaze's For Audrey and then I stamped the m63 pattern with the Silver Flormar~

I know my cuticles are a mess and that my nails are uneven! I'm just nervous and I keep tearing them off!

Hope you like the combo, though!

Innocent swirls

2011-01-23T04:38:00.000-08:00

Hi! Hope everyone is having a nice weekend!

For this I used the Sinful Colors in Innocent (1 coat!) and I stamped the swirls from the m63 plate with the special Konad polish in Green.

FIY, the polish stained my nails like crazy! They're always a tad yellow towards the tips, but now they turned completely yellow! And I DID use a basecoat! So maybe it was a bad bottle or something.. I don't really care if they're yellow since they're always covered, but some of you do so I wanted to mention that!

Silver Roses

2011-01-19T03:29:00.000-08:00

Hi everyone!

Just wanted to do a quick update!

Don't forget about my friends' blog !

And the mani I wanted to show you today:

I used a purple from Flormar and then the 112 for the stamping of the roses from the m65! I think it's my favorite stamping color! It's better then the Konad ones by far!

Filler post + Mint Apple NOTD

2011-01-15T09:47:00.000-08:00

Hi guys! Just wanted to do a quick update!

And don't forget to visit my friend's blog! She's in need of an audience to update for!

From L to R: Pinky Glitter, Innocent, Mint Apple and Miami Heat (kind of reminds me of Frostbite from CG in real life)

Hope everybody has an awesome weekend!

Yellow Leopard

2011-01-12T05:24:00.000-08:00

Hi guys! First off I wanted to let you know my good friend Agnes made a blog about manis and makeup and hair, but she is a little shy! Hope you'll subscribe so you get to see her amazing looks! Maybe she'll even do a tutorial about her Holloween makeup!

Anyway, on to the mani!

I used Jordana's Mellow Yellow and stamped the Peppermint Leaf from Avon with the m57!

Oh and by the way, the pictures are taken before I put my topcoat on! I was in a real hurry when I did them! So sorry!

Anyway, have a nice day and make sure you check out her blog!

First Cracked mani!

2011-01-10T05:53:00.000-08:00

My friend Alexa gave me my first crackle polish way before Christmas (and actually, this is how old this mani is!)

Isn't it lovely?

Purple swirls

2011-01-07T07:41:00.000-08:00

Hey girls!

Hope everybody's day is going well!

I used China Glaze's Pink Underground and then I stamped the swirls with Grape Pop!

How do you like this mani ?

Purple sponge gradient

2011-01-05T01:30:00.000-08:00

Happy New Year everybody!

I used Avon's Luxe lavander, then sponged China Glaze's spontanous, then China Glaze's Grape pop, and then I stamped my favorite floral pattern.

New Years mani + Giveaway winner

2011-01-02T22:43:00.000-08:00

For those who just want to see who won, just skip down to the bottom of the post!

My new Years mani was just plain red!

I had a lot of counting to do, a lot of enteries weren't valid and I was hurt that people tried to lie to me by saying they were followers before the giveaway when they clearly weren't! I'm not going to give any names, I just want you to know that I know about you three and those enteries weren't counted!

So, without further ado..

the winner is..

Iru !!!!!

Congratulations, I've already e-mailed you, hope you enjoy your stuff!

New Years mani.. maybe?

2010-12-30T09:30:00.000-08:00

This is one of the manis I tried for New Years, but I don't think I'm going to be doing this one.

I'm thinking of going with the classic red.

I used 2 coats of the LA Girl black from the Matte collection, then I double sponged the tips with Out of this world from Sinful Colors and then dabbed a bit of silver glitter from LA Colors.

What do you think ?

New Years mani

2010-12-29T05:28:00.000-08:00

This is just a try-out. I'm not sure which one I'm doing.

I used 1 coat of a random emerald green,1 coat LA Colors Treasure Island, and stamped the swirls off the m63 plate with the Flormar 112.

What are you doing for New years, ladies?

Party Hearty put to good use

2010-12-26T13:22:00.000-08:00

I'm so in love with this polish, I think I'm going to use it every day, even if it isn't Christmas!

I layered it over Avon's Peppermint Leaf, one coat each, no top coat!

Hope everybody is having a lovely time!

Final Christmas manicures (Christmas night and Christmas morning)

2010-12-24T11:46:00.000-08:00

First one is Avon's splendid blue with the nail decals from vivalanails.

And the Christmas morning, I used Flormar's 112 with other decals.

Merry Christmas!

Christmas Manicures (Part X) - Party Hearty + Hello Kitty

2010-12-22T02:48:00.000-08:00

I got the Party Hearty from Carol who was a complete sweetheart for sending it to me!

I put on two coats of Sinful Color's San Fransisco and topped it with one coat of Party Hearty from China Glaze.

And I also wanted to show you something my good friend got me (among other things).

Christmas manicures (part IX)

2010-12-20T02:57:00.000-08:00

I love this type of sponge tip mani!

The red base is one coat from Jordana and then I sponged the 2030 from China Glaze and then the gold glitter from LA colors!

What do you think ?

Christmas manicures (part VIII) - Frosty the snowman

2010-12-18T07:58:00.000-08:00

I wanted to use that blue franken I did a while back and I did, but I only did one coat and it didn't look good, so here it has 2 coats. Then I sponged the french tips and stamped the snowman from the m12 plate with the Konad white polish.

I think I'm going to do a couple more Christmas manis and then switch to New Years ones. Maybe more then a couple, though, I have some really cute water decals.

Christmas manicures (Part VII)

2010-12-16T10:57:00.000-08:00

I just did a simple mani and it turned out to be one of my favorite Christmas manis so far.

I did Mistletoe kisses from China Glaze on all fingers except for my index finger where I layered Out of this world from Sinful colors and 39 from Flormar, before stamping the tree from the m12 plate with the special green Konad polish.

What do you think ?

Christmas Manicures (Part VI) - Jingle bells!

2010-12-13T06:03:00.000-08:00

One of my lovely followers asked me to do a red and gold mani, and I gladly obligded!

The base color is a franken, starting from LA Colors' Transformer, but for the life of me, I can't remember what I put in it! I changed it because it was extremely sheer and it needed 5 coats! That's 3 coats too much, at least for me. It now has a fushia colored shimmer in it, anyways!

I stamped the bells (m12) and the swirls with China Glaze's 2030 (A random fauxnad)

Before you get to see the pictures, I just want to thank Mary for the awesome prize I just won (My first giveaway won, ever!). I'm very excited!

Look out for more Christmas manis! Hopefully with better photos!

Musical mani

2010-12-09T20:18:00.000-08:00

This is Sinful Colors in Volcanic with Flormar 112, and I stamped the m73 and B31.

How do you like it?

Christmas Manicures (part V)

2010-12-07T08:04:00.000-08:00

Just something simple I did.. they don't really match, but I didn't notice when I put them on.

It's Mrs Claus and Ruby Pumps!

Like it?

Christmas manicures (Part IV) - Santa, baby

2010-12-05T04:54:00.000-08:00

So I just used ONE coat of that 112 Flormar polish and the water decals from vivalanails!

PS: Lola B is having an awesome New Years giveaway. You can win everything you need for a complete New Years look, including a full sized Urban Decay Primer Potion, TWO Urban Decay shadows, a lovely NARS blush, one of the best mascaras in the world, a perfect pout gloss and probably my choice for New Years Nails, a wonderful China Glaze set with a shot glass. You can join here.

Christmas Manicures (Part III) - Silent Night

2010-12-04T07:36:00.000-08:00

So I love all the dark blue with white snowflakes everybody's been doing but I wanted something a bit different (not a whole lot, though, I love snowflakes)

I used a random black Farmasi polish that has some silver glitter in it and stamped the snowflakes off the m56 plate with color number 112 from Flormar, that's absolutely stunning for konad!

Oh and the other colors on my fingers are from markers (I need to highlight everything I read)

Christmas manicures (Part II- Glitter Skittle)

2010-12-01T05:06:00.000-08:00

I wanted to do a skittle for a long time, but not the Easter type, the Christmas type!

China Glaze - Ruby Pumps

China Glaze - 2030 + LA Colors - Goddess

China Glaze - Emerald Sparkle

Flormar - 112 + LA Colors - Sparkling Diamonds

China Glaze - Calypso Blue + a beautiful Claire's blue glitter

Here are all the polishes I used:

Hope you have a nice day!

Christmas manicures (Part I)

2010-11-30T12:05:00.000-08:00

I was waiting for the month of December to start before I started doing these, but this is nearly a week old and long overdue!

I used China Glaze's Mistletoe Kisses (2 coats) and then I stuck on some viva la nails water decals on my index and ring finger (the index was a bust, I didn't realize the Merry Christmas wouldn't show up)

When are you starting your festive manis ?

Purple crush

2010-11-29T05:44:00.000-08:00

So Spontaneous is the new one (for me) and Grape Pop is the old one (again, for me, I know that the collections came out the other way around.)

I wanted to do a comparison on the nail because in the bottle they don't look like they're that different.

So the dark one is Grape pop.

See? Huge difference.

On another note, I've been overwhelmed with how many people decided to join the giveaway.

I was hoping for 30 participants, tops!

So I decided I'm going to hold another giveaway once this one is done, for Valentines day/ my birthday (a day after Valentines day)

Also, I got 3 more polishes (and I need a new box because they don't fit any more)

So from left to right: 323, 354 and 112 (this one's in the giveaway)

I hate polishes with numbers.

Anyway, have a great day!

China Glaze Christmas Comparison

2010-11-26T22:18:00.000-08:00

So I got the three lightest polishes in my recent haul, the darkest three I had before.

from L to R:

Ruby Pumps
Mrs Claus
Grape Pop
Spontaneous
Emerald Sparkle
Mistletoe Kisses

And here are some close ups of them:

I can't wait to do some combos with these babies!

Stellar hearts

2010-11-23T23:30:00.000-08:00

Hey there!

I did this mani for school (simple and not really noticeable unless my hands are in the sun)

I used 2 coats of China Glaze's Stellar and stamped the cute hearts from the m36 plate on top.

Hope you like it! And have a great day!

PS: nailstah is having a giveaway and I think it's so cute because there's no prize announced yet!
Adorable!
I don't usually blog about giveaways because it crowds blogs, but this is just to cute to pass out on!

Ultra Girly french with glitter

2010-11-21T06:51:00.000-08:00

I've never been good at french manis. I love them, from afar usually.

I can't do it with stick ons or free handing them, much less with plates.

The problem lies in positioning the stamp the right way for my right hand.

This time, believe it or not, i actually got it sort-of right, so I'll be practicing from now on.

The base is NYX in Girly.

I stamped the french stripes from a fauxnad plate, B39 with China Glaze's Grape Pop.

I put on some glitter from LA colors in between them.

This is the end result: Hope you like it.

So what do you think ?

Like it ?

PS: for girls from Romania:
Placutele cele false le-am luat de la Luiza, aka unghii pictate
Le cumpara din diverse locuri si le vinde la acelasi pret (deci ea nu castiga nimic, basically)

Aici puteti sa vedeti ce placute poate cumpara: aici
Toate costa 3,5 lei, bani in care primiti si o stampila si un scraper (am 5 scrapere in plus acum, dar cum de obicei mi-e lene sa le curat, tocmai bine)

Modelul de aici l-am facut tot cu o placuta de la ea si a fost chiar atat de draguta sa imi trimita si un mic cadou.

Kisses and hugs.

Blue Franken

2010-11-20T04:57:00.000-08:00

Did this color myself.

I mixed China Glaze's Calypso Blue, which I also used for stamping with Jordana's Mint Candy in an old Konad topcoat bottle.

I also remember adding a bit of white, just a drop or something like that.

I stamped the butterfly with a B31 (a fauxnad) and the bubbles with the m35.

Golden Twilight

2010-11-19T08:45:00.000-08:00

I got a couple of polishes this week but not enough to make a haul post.

This is one of them.

I took some photos in the sun, but the mani I did was basically stamping the matte finish topcoat on the nail.

Look what a pretty color!

Like it ?

I got inspired

2010-11-17T05:59:00.000-08:00

I saw Deniz's from Emerald Sparkled latest mani and I fell in love.

I really wanted to stamp the Avon Peppermint Leaf over something dark like she did, and I found something like that. I used LA Colors Jungle Fever for the base.

Of course, I didn't have enough patience or talent so I did something a lot more simple.

And I also didn't have the plate she used, so I used my m69 flower french pattern twice, and I think it looks pretty cool.

In fact, it's one of my favorite mani's ever.

What do you guys think ?

PS: If you have a problem with my cuticles, I want to mention that it's not that I don't take care of them, it's just that I bite them when I get nervous. I know how to do cuticle maintenance but that's not the problem. And while I appreciate your tips, I felt embarrassed when I got them. So please, unless you have tips on how to make me stop biting them, I don't need any other solutions.

Excuse my mini rant.

And have a great day.

Green gradient (Full tutorial)

2010-11-15T06:41:00.000-08:00

I normally don't do nail tutorials but people tend to think it's hard to do when it isn't.

I used a lot of polishes and it has a lot of steps so scroll down to see what I used!

So these are the polishes I used:

From L to R:

Jordana - Mint Candy
Avon - Peppermint Leaf
LA Colors - Atomic
Natty - 412
China Glaze - Emerald Sparkle

So I stared out with two coats of Mint Candy.

I then sponge tapped (that's the word I'd use.. not pressing down too hard) Peppermint Leaf.

I then tapped the Atomic:

Then goes the Natty color:

Then finally, the Emerald Sparkle:

Here's a close up of my ring finger, pre-clean up:

More shots of it, also pre-clean-up:

So what do you think ?

I added the Fishnet from the m57 plate to cover up any boo-boos!

Like it ?

Let me know what you think.

Have you gals tried one of these?

Deep sea sparkles

2010-11-14T09:37:00.000-08:00

This is one of the Claire's polishes I got from my friend!

I'm blind because I couldn't spot a name.. but it's a wonderful glitter!

This is 3 coats with 2 coats of topcoat (all the glitter loving ladies know how that goes).

It's an awesome blue glitter on a transparent base!

I would love to do some Christmas themed nail art on this !

Don't mind the mess, I removed it in the shower!

What nail art would you do with such an awesome polish?

Later edit: Romanian tag!

Purple flowers

2010-11-13T02:46:00.000-08:00

I love this plate but I can only use it when I have short nails because it sucks trying to double-'nad it. But this looks nice, or at least I think it does.

I used Grape Pop from China Glaze as the base color (1 coat! How awesome is that) and stamped the pattern from the m74 plate with LA Colors in Live.. which I love for stamping, by the way.

How do you like it?

And also, I wanted to show you all the lovely gifts my friend sent me:

A very nice french mani set that has a white tip polish, a light, light pink all over base color and a topcoat, plus 120 tips (including straight ones for your toes)

Two lovely glitter filled polishes from Claires that I love! I did a mani with the blue one but the pictures didn't come out good because it with flash and I suck at taking photos so I'll be doing another one soon.

The cutest nail file from Claire's.

A wonderful complete set of mani stuff!

Some really cute stickers from Claire's.

And a pocket pal from Benefit (the cousin of Benetint)

On another note, I'll be ordering the giveaway nailpolishes today so they should be here in two weeks!

Have a nice weekend!

Claire's stickers

2010-11-12T01:39:00.000-08:00

A very good friend sent me some stuff, including some nail stuff, including a couple of Claire's polishes and some of their very cute stickers.

These are some of them.

Application was very easy, and they lasted a good amount of time without peeling on the sides.

I used China Glaze's For Audrey (2 coats) and put the stickers on after the nailpolish was halfway dried.

I only applied 1 coat of Seche Vite topcoat, but if I had to do it again I'd put 2 on because you could feel the stickers when you touched the nail (and it made me crazy).

I also have 2 more sheets of stickers my friend sent me and I'll be featuring them in future posts.

Have you ever tried Claire's stickers? What do you think about them?

Ruby Pumps

2010-11-10T02:55:00.000-08:00

I love this polish! Seriously, I love it, and I don't even like reds that much! It's a classic that every polish-loving-lady should own (even those who don't have too many polishes.)

So this is China Glaze's Ruby Pumps with the flower pattern from the m69 plate that I stamped with China Glaze's 2030 (I mostly use it for stamping because I have other golds)

Btw I had to cut my nails:( sorry about that. I know they're tiny when they're short but that's that.

And I'm also behind on posting! I did this mani on Monday but my internet is really, really bad so I post more seldom because of it.

I might get it repaired today and I'll get back to posting more frequently and commenting on all the nail-bloggers I love.

Tag

2010-11-09T09:00:00.000-08:00

Sorry for my non-romanian readers. It’s a tag I got from Joice.

1. Esti intr-o situatie unde drepturile individului nu exista. Trebuie sa alegi intre Umilinta si Bataie. Tu ce alegi si de ce?

Bataia.

2. 3+4= 5 este posibil?

Am luat 5 in cap la bac la mate deci dupa mine, da.

3. Daca cineva maine iti pune pe masa 1 milion de euro si iti spune sa omori pe cel mai bun prieten/a, ai face-o?

Sunt extreme de materialista. Pentru 2 ma mai gandesc :P

4. Spui intotdeauna adevarul?

Incerc cat pot. Acum, pe bune, nu cred ca e cineva care tot timpul zice numai si numai adevarul. Nici aia de la jurati nu cred ca o fac. Dar, incerc sa imi retin minciunelele pt cand nu afecteaza pe nimeni grav. Spre expemplu:

Mama: Nu se termina scoala la 6?

Eu: Nu mama, la 2.

5. Esti la un pas sa iti realizezi cel mai mare vis al tau. Pentru a reusi, trebuie sa faci un compromis pe care in mod normal nu l-ai face. De retinut e ca de nu faci acel compromis s-a zis cu visul tau pentru todeauna. Ce faci?

Calc peste orice principiu si fac compromisul.

6. Ai inselat, furat vreodata?

Nope dar mai iau cate o tigarica de la mama din pachet. Shhhh!

7. Ce parere ai despre zicala: "Creeaza-i unui om DORINTA si se va "beep" pe ele de principii, vise, etc" ?

Nu am auzit de ea pana acum, si pare scornita. Deci, nu am o parere buna.

8. Ti s-a facut vreodata o observatie negativa in pat? Daca da care a fost aceasta?

E asa de deplasata intrebarea asta ca nici nu am sa comentez macar :D

9. Esti in situatia de a decide intr-o situatie fara iesire. Trebuie sa ordoni moartea a unui milion de oameni pentru a salva alti 5 miliarde. Daca nu-i sacrifici pe cei 1 milion , atunci vor muri toti. Care e decizia ta?

Nu o sa fiu never ever in aceasta situatie deci nu ma gandesc la cretinitati inutile.

10. Ce aplicatie/formula matematica ne poate da raspunsul =123456789 ?

Radical de ceva cu multi de 1 cred, sau ceva. Vezi intrebarea 2.

11. Pentru ce suma ti-ai inchiria timp de o saptamana partenera/ul?

Iarasi cu intrebarile cretine? Da’ ce sunt eu frate, pimp in variant feminine?

12. Daca nu ai avea ce manca ai da in cap cuiva?

Lasa ca si asa am fundu’ prea mare.

13. Cand ai facut ultima oara sex si cu cine?

Bai, intrebarile pot sa fie interesante si fara sa fie deplasate.

14. Iti prinzi partenerul in pat cu o alta persoana in timpul actului sexual. Cum reactionezi?

Depends. Cel mai probabil fac ca Dexter (si nu ala cu laboratoru’ )

15. Daca ai fi Dumnezeu pentru o zi care ar primele 7 lucruri pe care le-ai face?

Habar n-am.

16. Dai bani la cersatori?

Da. Mi s-a intamplat totusi sa vad cum se urca unul intr-o masina sexoasa tare (mentionez ca eu merg cu metroul)

17. Maine e sfarsitul lumii. Ai 24 de ore la dispozitie. Ce ai face in aceste 24 de ore?

Il caut pe Josh Hartnett obsesiv. Poa’ i se face mila de mine.

18. Esti intr-o celula de 2/2 cu inca un partener de 10 ani. In tot acest timp ai fost pus/a la cele mai groaznice chinuri posibile. Intr-o zi, ti se ofera posibilitatea de a scapa toate acestea. Trebuie doar sa-i oferi cele mai goznice chinuri colegului de celula timp de 2 ani. Ce alegi? Sa te chinuie in continuare sau sa-l chinui tu pe colegul de celula?

Mai stau si eu nitelus pe acolo, sa nu-l las singurel.

19. Intr-o zi te suna cineva si iti spune ca stie cel mai groaznic secret al tau. Daca nu-i dai ce si cat vrea va spune tuturor. Daca s-ar afla, acel secret ar distruge tot ce ai cladit, ai pierde totul. Ce vei face in continuare?

Sincer, sunt o persoana foarte boring. Nu cred ca ar avea ce sa zica.

20. O parere personala, obiectiva despre autorul care ti-a trimis leapsa. Minim 50 de caractere.

Cunoscatoare de makeup aproape la fel de sarcastica ca si mine (bine, pe blog nu se prea vede cat de sarcastica sunt). Spaimba vanzatoarelor din Sephora si vorbitoare de romenglish (ca si mine de altfel). Off doamne, daca ar posta mai multe modele de unghii pe gherutele alea ale ei lungi.

Nu vreau sa taguiesc pe nimeni in special. Oricine vede postarea si nu a fost taguit, poate sa faca tagul sis a zica ca am ales eu. It’s open for everybody.

Tiger nails

2010-11-08T07:22:00.000-08:00

I used Jordana's Sweet Orange with the tiger print from the m69 plate (got it recently so I'll be doing two in a row with it) with the special Konad black polish (you can tell from the mess around the nails)

Also, after this mani I cut my nails, so oh well.

By the way, any mani requests?

Peach blossom

2010-11-06T05:56:00.000-07:00

I know those aren't peach blossoms but the base color looked like peach so yeah.

I used Rimmel's Royal Rose as a base coat and then stuck the flowers from the viva la nails water decals and then let it dry and put on a coat of Seche Vite.

Snow leopard

2010-11-05T06:37:00.000-07:00

I am so sorry for not updating, my net is bad and it takes forever for me to load this page.

I see I have 101 followers which is amazing and I want to thank you guys.

I will be ordering the stuff for the giveaway sometime next week and I will try to have a little bit in it for everybody.

Moving on, this mani is one of my favorites, but the color combo didn't really do it for me.

I put two coats of Rimmel's Electric (It looks like Purple Panic from China Glaze or Mrs Robinson from Color Club) with the leopard print from the m57 plate with the white Konad special polish.

It might have been cuter if I had made the pattern purple. What do you guys think ?

Only one picture because it takes too long to load.

Just so I can get a little feedback from my readers, what colors would you like to see in the giveaway ?

Layering experiment

2010-11-02T09:17:00.000-07:00

I wanted to try out these two colors I had from LA Colors (Jungle Fever- a dark teal creme and Treasure Island- a beautiful combo of blue and green glitter on a transparent base)

Golden swirls

2010-10-31T07:41:00.000-07:00

Just a quick mani I did.

I know, I'm a slob as usual, but I hate cleaning up so I just do it in the shower when the polish on the skin is peel-ready.

Like this mani ?

What about my new layout?

Roses are..

2010-10-30T02:03:00.000-07:00

I tried some water decals and I figured out how to make them look better.

The polish under is one coat China Glaze For Audrey with one coat Jordana Mint Candy on top.

After I put the decal on I put on a thick topcoat (Jordana I think)

Filler post

2010-10-29T03:54:00.000-07:00

I got my decals and stickers from Viva la nails today.

PS: I bought them all with my own money.

As a short review, I don't suggest anyone that is clumsy to get these water decals. I already ruined a few. I'm going to be sticking to stickers from now on.

Here's a group photo:

Fishnets

2010-10-28T23:07:00.000-07:00

So I've been dying to do this fishnet pattern but it covers up the color so I thought I'd switch it up a bit.

So I used the LA Girl Black from the Matte collection which isn't really matte (hence the top coat). Here it is without the topcoat:

So as you can see the matte isn't really matte (I mean the black, not the silver, which wasn't supposed to be matte on it's own)

The silver is LA Color's Live and I added the fishnet off the m57 plate.

I then added a thick coat of the Rimmel Matte topcoat and everything was well in the world.

How do you like this mani ?

My favorite green!

2010-10-26T22:59:00.000-07:00

This is the most gorgeous green polish I own! You'd bet it's from some expensive brand and it's over 15 dollars, right?

Wrong? It's 1 dollar from a very cheap brand called Orkide and the sub-brand is Natty!

The color is 442 and it's a two coater (1 thin, 1 pretty thick)

I stamped the patterns on my thumb and index with plate m77 (just two fingers because I didn't want to hide the pretty color!) and I used China Glaze 2030! I swear I only use this for stamping.

Isn't it a beautiful color ?

Easy going

2010-10-25T07:43:00.000-07:00

I'm lazy and after I just removed that awesome mani I did yesterday, I didn't feel like doing any Konad.

This is Sinful Colors in Easy going (2 coats) plus basecoat and Seche Vite!

Warning: It's not white! It's a light, light, light pink. It's the lightest pink I own.

Do you ever get lazy nail days? That's what this is for me right now.

Hope everybody had a great day!

San Fran

2010-10-24T04:26:00.000-07:00

This is a weird one, girls! First, I needed 3 coats of the Sinful Colors San Francisco (mind you, it looks like it has a blue tinge to it in pictures, but it's green, no blue to be spotted! I'm sure you can find swatches out there, somewhere, that represent the color just the way it is). The shimmer on this color is amazing but the color payoff is weird, the brush isn't that good and I needed 3 uneven coats because the thumb could have been a 2-coater, but not the others! Maybe it's just me.

Then I stamped the pattern from the m60 plate with China Glaze's 2030 which had a weird reaction when I added the Seche Vite top coat, and instead of being the intense liquid gold it usually is, it turned to a slightly green-ish gold if that's even possible! The effect is cool, but it's never happened to me before! Has anybody else tried this and gotten the same results?

Also, some details about the giveaway I plan to host:

it will include about 10 polishes
some water decals
maybe some other Romanian goodies, I'm not sure yet, maybe some makeup, I'll have to check with my broker (aka my mom)
I will be giving extra entries to people who were subscribing before I post the giveaway, and active posters will be receiving an additional extra entry!

That being said, do you like this combination?

Black and white flowers

2010-10-23T04:49:00.000-07:00

From forever ago. I used a random white cream from Sinful Colors I think, and the flowers were from the m71 plate with the Konad special black polish.

Pink and Purple

2010-10-21T08:52:00.000-07:00

I used the Jordana Berry Perfect and stamped the lovely pattern off the m78 plate with China Glaze's Grape Pop. It looks washed out a bit in photos because of the flash but it's pretty intense in real life (the stamping, I mean). The index finger looks the brightest and it's still not there yet. Sorry, did it just now and it's almost 7 so the Sun is not on my side any more.

I also wanted to add that somebody requested a Jordana quick diamond topcoat review. To keep it short, I used it a couple of times, it's not as good as the Seche Vite chip wise, but it is very shiny, almost shinier then Seche Vite, it dries pretty quick, very comparable to Seche Vite, so if you can't get the Seche Vite, you can pick up the Jordana topcoat, it works almost as well. You also can by about 3 to 4 (depending where you buy them) Jordana ones for one Seche Vite bottle, so that's a dollar saver there as well. That's my two cents on the matter, hope that's helpful!

I also ordered some stuff from Vivalanails because I love their Christmas themed water decals and stickers!

I also got some stuff I want to include for a giveaway I'll be doing before Christmas, so be sure to check that out!

Have you tried nail stickers or water decals from their site? How do you like them ?

Purple marble

2010-10-20T06:22:00.000-07:00

I used the m78 plate for this one, with the Flormar number 14 as a base and LA Colors in Live for the pattern.

Light pink nails + my moms' nails

2010-10-19T07:45:00.000-07:00

So this is just something basic with the Flormar I got yesterday.

And I always do cute flowers on mom's nails. We're actually wearing the same flower.

The flower is from the plate m77,

I used Jordana's Hot red and Boy oh Boy on her nails (and yes, it looks green in real life.)

For Audrey

2010-10-18T05:53:00.000-07:00

For Audrey is one of the colors I've been lusting over since forever and I'm so glad to finally have gotten it because I'm in awe with this color. I have lots of mints and light greens but this one is so special, it's more of a blue tinge to it. It's a perfect color and let me tell you I don't even like blue nail polish all that much.

I used two coats of China Glaze's For Audrey and stamped the pattern from the m60 plate which I messed up a little bit.

Anyway, does anybody hate the black polish from Konad as much as I do? It's super hard to get off the cuticles and skin around your nail! It's awful! I actually went over it twice with pure acetone and there's still some there!

I finished it off with some Seche Vite, which is amazing!

In other news, I got two more Flormar polishes!

The one on the left is number 113 and the one on the right is number14.

The 14 one kind of looks like Mummy may I? in real life, sort of. I think the Mummy may I has chunkier glitter, this one has something between shimmer and glitter, size wise.

What Konad would you do with 14?

Silver Circles

2010-10-17T03:44:00.000-07:00

This is just a random konadicure I did with China Glaze's Calypso Blue with the m65 circle pattern using the special Konad polish!

Later edit: This ChG polish is a one coater!

As you can see, the LA colors Live is much, much better ten the special silver polish from Konad and it's actually 1/3 of the price so you can check that one out if you want.

This is an old mani and my ring finger nail is a very odd shape, but whatever. I wanted to post some of my old manis as well.

As most of you already know, the Calyspo Blue from China Glaze is awesome for stamping!

Blue bows

2010-10-16T09:02:00.000-07:00

The color is actually turquoise, but since I can't capture it in photos, we'll just call it blue.

This is Jordana's Boy, oh boy (2 coats) with the two types of bows from m59 with the Konad special polish.

I really, really like the Jordana polishes. I'm going to be doing a review on their topcoat which I don't really like as much, but the polishes are awesome. They're almost good in one coat, they don't chip easily and I've tried them with various topcoats (they work best with Seche Vite, but any topcoat works.). I actually like the texture and I'm mentioning this because I read on a blog that this polish made a mess. I'm usually messy when applying polish so since this one went on pretty well, I'm guessing it's not that bad.

Have any of you tried the Jordana polishes? If so, what colors and did you like them?

Gold flowers on red velvet

2010-10-15T03:17:00.000-07:00

I liked the Volcanic Gold flowers I did the other day so I wanted to try something like that.

I don't usually do red polish, creme in particular, because I don't think I pull it off well.

But since Christmas is closer and closer, I might give it a try.

Btw, this is pre-cleanup, because the sun was awesome and I didn't want to miss it.

I used Sinful Color's Red Diamond with China Glaze's 2030 with plate m71.

Like this combo ?

Versatile blogger

2010-10-14T13:05:00.000-07:00

So I got tagged by Nihrida which I just noticed so I’m going to do the tag anyway.

So, 12 things about me:

1. I look younger then I actually am and I still get asked for ID sometimes (I’ve been legal for nearly 3 years now)

2. My natural hair color is black, but I’ve been all the colors under the sun from blonde to green and blue and pink. I’m settling with my natural one for the moment.

3. I’m allergic to mosquitoes and have an intolerance to some types of mushrooms.

4. Before I had this nail blog I used to do makeup tutorials on youtube (I still do lots of tranny makeup on myself, I can’t help it)

5. I like doing other people’s nails more then I like doing mine and I love when somebody asks for me to do theirs (I might be in the wrong line of business)

6. Up until a year ago I had 5 or 6 polishes and put it on Sundays and took it off the next Sunday. Disgusting, right ?

7. I watch so many TV shows, about one or two every day.

8. I don’t like the new season of House, it’s like a soap opera and it used to be one of my favorites before.

9. I used to play tennis, did about 5 or 6 years of ballet but you wouldn’t be able to tell if you’d look at me now since I’m such a couch potato.

10. I like studying with other people only when they’re the ones with the exam. I need silence to study, to be able to understand things.

11. My mom thinks the only reason I went to Med School was to make her proud but actually, she’d be the first reason I wouldn’t have gone because I see how much crap she takes from the system on a regular basis.

12. And finally, I’m blind as a bat and I wear glasses all the time. Had contacts but they just didn’t “sit well” with me.

I tag:

Konad and Polish

Samantha

Roxi

Roxie

Alexa

Camy

Marizza

So basically you have to say 12 things about yourself and tag 7 people.

Have fun!

I did :D

The Taupe

2010-10-14T09:42:00.000-07:00

I did this polish in matte because I go to see patients on Tuesdays and Thursdays and I didn't want it to be too.. out there, if you know what I mean.

I was hoping it would be true taupe because of the name, but it has way too much gray in it.

It's a pretty color, though.

The color is called like the title of the post, and it's by NYX.

Do you like it?

Venitian gold

2010-10-13T01:27:00.000-07:00

I always wanted to try this color combo but since I didn't have the 2030 before.. I'm putting it to good use now.

I used 2 coats of Sinful Color's Volcanic, beautiful color btw, you should check it out, and stamped my favorite flower pattern from the m73 plate with China Glaze's 2030.

The top coat is the one from Seche Vite, and as you can see, it doesn't smudge the design.

Do you like this combination?

It's very cute in real life, but with more depth then my usual konads.

What do you think?

Stellar

2010-10-12T07:38:00.000-07:00

This is probably exactly what I'd call this color.

It looks darker in the bottle, but perfect on the nails.

Do you guys like it?

Click to see the pretty shimmer.

What Konad would you have done with China Glaze's Stellar?

Hot Leopard

2010-10-11T09:22:00.000-07:00

This is one of my favorite patterns and I never did a brown/gold one before, maybe it's a bit overdone, but I still love it and the effect.

I started with the basecoat, two coats of the LA Colors in Chocolate shimmer and then stamped the leopard print from the m57 plate with China Glaze in 2030.

See the color? It's really pretty.

Btw, all images are clickable, always. You can see the shimmer if you click it.

I finished with the Jordana Quick Shine topcoat (I'll do a review on that later)

What's your guilty pleasure when it comes to nails?

This is an old mani, from before I knew how disgusting my cuticles are without any help

I used Sinful Colors Forget Now which is a pretty, shimmery pink. Lovely color.

And I also used the pattern from the m74 plate.

I won't be posting old manis because I don't have any of them left. So from now on, they'll be right off my nails, so to speak.

Maybe a Romanian follower will identify me on the street based on my nails.

You can say hello to me, promise I won't call the police.

Kisses and have a great weekend.

Neon yellow

This is one of my favorites, even if it needed a good 4 coats.

I didn't really like the finish, somewhere between a matte and a satin, but I left it like that.

I guess it's a for-summer color, but I love bright colors during the fall because it takes my mind off the horrible weather outside. It's been raining all day and it's cold on top of that.

What does your fall selection include? Bright colors? Nudes? Vampy ones?

So I got my cherryculture stuff and I wanted to show you. Can't wait to try them out.

Btw, the Boy oh boy is actually turquoise. Real turquoise, not bright blue.

I have no idea why it's so hard to capture.

This is where the non-nail-stuff begins, so just skip over it if you're not interested.

I have so many of these NYX lipsticks, I just love them.

Purple dots

I wanted to do something darker cause I have short nails right now. I like short, dark nails, as much as I like long, light-colored ones.

I used China Glaze's Grape Pop in ONE coat and I stamped the dots off the m60 plate with LA Color's Live.

By the way, I got my cherryculture stuff. Are you guys interested in seeing what I got?

Have a great weekend!

Preppy pink

Did this for today. Did a very thick topcoat on it and it chipped right away cause it was VERY thick. Broke a nail as well and don't know if to cut them all or not.

What do you do when you break a nail ?

Green roses

This is that second Flormar polish (number N007) and I think the N comes from Neon.

This is two coats (it could have used a thrid, but I don't like thirds, like I've said previously, I only do them if it's really necessary)

I used the m35 plate with the roses. I've had it for a while and I haven't used it yet.

By the way, the green is a bit more yellowish in real life, it looks more emerald in photos. But it's a cute one.

Look at the cute roses!

Do you like floral patterns, ladies?
